Sutton Veny is 2lbs higher than when second here last time and isn't as well drawn so looks opposable. He will also face competition for the lead with the front-running Below Zero and We Have A Dream in the line-up and that pair are well drawn to attack from the off and have to be on the short-list. There is a chance that they could cut each others' throats out in front which may set the race up nicely for something coming from off the pace and Swiss Cross, Baby Strange and Imprimis Tagula are all entertained but the nod goes to FULLANDBY. It won't be easy from the one box but he has a tendency to get behind in his races so should be able to cross behind the pacesetters before, hopefully, picking them up close home just as he did when winning this race last year from the same mark as today.
